In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne for two months after the incident at Xuanwu Gate. The Tang Empire's internal foundation was not stable yet, and its military strength had not been replenished yet. The Eastern and Western Turks took the opportunity to join forces to invade Jingyang City and plunder it wantonly. Jie Li Khan led 200,000 troops to Chang 'an, preparing to deal the final fatal blow to Chang' an.
"Salted Fish Daddy, can I get the bracelet back? Mother gave it to me.”A tender voice rang out. On the shoulder of a young man who looked to be around nineteen or twenty years old, sat a child who looked like a porcelain doll with two ponytails.
"Don't cry, kid. I'm already looking for her.”Qin Fan yawned and said lazily. He looked as handsome as jade, but he always gave people the feeling that he was not awake and was listless.
"Salted Fish Daddy, if you can't find it, kill yourself for bengong. Hmph!”Tong Tong shook her ponytail and pouted.
" Who did you learn these bad habits from?" Qin Fan rolled his eyes at this guy. His hair was messy as if Tong Tong had pulled out grass.
[Super Dad System Reminder: Tong Tong is in a bad mood. The consequences are very serious. Please find the lost bracelet quickly.]

When Qin Fan saw this cheating Super Dad System, the corner of his mouth twitched. Forget it, he had to finish it quickly.
…………
On the bank of the Wei River.
The two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers arrived on the other side of the Wei River. Flags fluttered in the wind, and iron horses and golden spears stood in front of them. The dense crowd was like a rainbow, as if they wanted to swallow Chang 'an.
"Tang Tong and Li Shimin! Jingyang has fallen, and Chang 'an is in danger. Do you think the foundation you built by killing your brother and father can last long? Aren't you going to be mine! Haha!" Jie Li Khagan shouted, his voice reverberating in the air.
When it entered the ears of Li Shiming and all the other Tang generals, it was extremely ear-piercing!
Such blatant humiliation was the shame of the Great Tang!
As a son of the Great Tang, he couldn't swallow his anger!
"How dare you! You big-eared thief! Let me fight you!" Yuchi Gong immediately exploded in anger, how could he allow Jie Li Khan to humiliate Li Shi Min like this, he immediately planned to gallop out.
"Jing De! Come back here!" Li Shi Min roared. Everyone could see that he was extremely furious, but he had to suppress his anger.
"But Your Majesty! This old minister is unwilling!" Yuchi Gong gripped the purple-gold whip with both hands. His hands were trembling, and his beard was trembling with anger.
"You're unwilling! I'm also unwilling! Would the hundreds of thousands of people in Chang 'an be willing?”Li Shi Min asked excitedly.
"Pa-"
When Yuchi Gong thought of this, he immediately realized that he had almost made a mistake. He slapped his face and lowered his head."Your Majesty is right. Jingde has lost his mind for a moment."
"Jie Li Khan! I'm warning you, I still have about 100,000 soldiers in Chang 'an Fortress! If you really charge in, there will definitely be countless casualties! Moreover, the outcome was still a variable! If you want to attack! I'll accompany you to the end! If you want to talk, then tell me why you're here!”Li Shimin was a man of steel. Even across the Wei River, he could still speak loudly in the face of the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers.
"Good! Don't think that I don't know that Chang 'an City only has thirty to fifty thousand soldiers, but I've earned enough this year. I don't want more, as long as the Great Tang surrenders to the Turks! Tribute every year! This Khagan can spare your Great Tang today! Haha!" Khan Jie Li narrowed his eyes and laughed out loud.
It wasn't that he didn't want to attack, but if he continued, he would have to use up at least a third of his forces. He had already earned enough. If he attacked forcefully, the Great Tang would be destroyed, and the Turks would be unable to take care of both sides. It was very likely that the Great Tang would become someone else's territory, and they would lose soldiers.
The gains would not make up for the losses. It would be better to let the Great Tang, which had already survived, become his possession, constantly making money for him and pillaging at fixed intervals.
Everyone in the Great Tang couldn't help but be enraged!
Li Shi Min's eyes darkened, his face ashen, his body trembling, his fingers trembling, he wanted to roar and kill! But he couldn't!
Behind him were the millions of people of the Great Tang. He could not abandon them in a moment of anger!
As the emperor! Li Shi Min had long expected such a humiliating day, but he had never thought that it would come so quickly. It was so fast that it was hard for him to accept it.
Chang 'an was the capital of the Tang Empire. Once it was captured, everything would be destroyed.
Countless civilians would be trampled and killed by these bandits. Thus, Li Shi Min could only endure.
"Your Majesty! "I'm afraid we can only negotiate now. Thirty thousand troops are not enough to fight against the other side's two hundred thousand troops." Li Ji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"I'm unwilling! I'm really unwilling!" Li Shiming gripped the reins with both hands, his knuckles trembling. All the Tang generals gritted their teeth and wept.
